John Stamos, who will soon be seen as Corny Collins in the Hollywood Bowl's production of Hairspray, has recently signed on to star in "Dead Lawyers," an upcoming pilot from Sony Pictures TV, according to Deadline.com.

"Dead Lawyers," the high-concept legal drama that was originally developed for Syfy eight years ago, is being reworked by writers Graham Yost and Fred Golan.

Stamos will lead the series as a "hot-shot lawyer" who lands in his own version of hell when he is hit and killed by a bus. He finds himself in a law firm composed of other dead lawyers who try to right miscarriages of justice in order to redeem themselves.
